The nuts were slaughtered when I had to cut them out. It's the threads
on the heads I am concerned about.

I can't tell you if your exhaust nuts are good or not, but here's what I did to keep mine tight. Years ago there was some discussion about safety-wiring the old nut so that they don't loosen up. Someone chimed in that he had used small springs instead of ssafety wire, which has the advantage of easy removal (when needed) and reuseability. I gave it a try and it works great. Drill a small hole in each nut, and a small hole in a cooling fin on each cylinder in the opposite direction from which the nut must turn inorder to loosen, and then put a spring between the two.
